ONENESS,
UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 469:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You
are going to a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let
the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tauhid
of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that Allah has
enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and
one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined
on them Zakat of their properties and it is to be taken from
the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they agree
to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property
of the people."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 470:
Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal:
The Prophet said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what Allah's Right
upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know
best." The Prophet said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to
join none in worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their
right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know
best." The Prophet said, "Not to punish them (if they do so)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 471:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
A man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): 'Say (O
Muhammad): "He is Allah, the One." (112.1) And he recited it
repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Prophet and
informed him about that as if he considered that the
recitation of that Sura by itself was not enough. Allah's
Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to
one-third of the Quran."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 472:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet sent (an army unit) under the command of a man
who used to lead his companions in the prayers and would
finish his recitation with (the Sura 112): 'Say (O Muhammad):
"He is Allah, the One." ' (112.1) When they returned (from the
battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet. He said (to
them), "Ask him why he does so." They asked him and he said,
"I do so because it mentions the qualities of the Beneficent
and I love to recite it (in my prayer)." The Prophet; said (to
them), "Tell him that Allah loves him"

We were with the Prophet when suddenly there came to him a

and see her son who was dying. The Prophet said (to the
messenger), "Go back and tell her that whatever Allah takes is
His, and whatever He gives is His, and everything with Him has
a limited fixed term (in this world). So order her to be
patient and hope for Allah's reward." But she sent the
messenger to the Prophet again, swearing that he should come
to her. So the Prophets got up, and so did Sa'd bin 'Ubada and
Mu'adh bin Jabal (and went to her). When the child was brought
to the Prophet his breath was disturbed in his chest as if it
were in a water skin. On that the eyes of the Prophet . became
flooded with tears, whereupon Sa'd said to him, "O Allah's
Apostle! What is this?" The Prophet said, "This is mercy which
Allah has put in the heart of His slaves, and Allah bestows
His mercy only on those of His slaves who are merciful (to
others)." (See Hadith No. 373, Vol. 2)

the Maintainer of the Heaven and the Earth and whatever is in
them. All the Praises are for You; You are the Light of the
Heavens and the Earth. Your Word is the Truth, and Your
Promise is the Truth, and the Meeting with You is the Truth,
and Paradise is the Truth, and the (Hell) Fire is the Truth,
and the Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender myself to You,
and I believe in You and I depend upon You, and I repent to
You and with You (Your evidences) I stand against my
opponents, and to you I leave the judgment (for those who
refuse my message). O Allah! Forgive me my sins that I did in

Who Hears, Sees, and is very near." Then he came to me while I
was saying in my heart, "La hawla wala quwwatta illa billah
(There is neither might nor power but with Allah)." He said,
to me, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Say, 'La hawla wala quwwata illa

offer a two rakat prayer other than the compulsory prayers,
and after finishing it, he should say: O Allah! I consult You,
for You have all knowledge, and appeal to You to support me
with Your Power and ask for Your Bounty, for You are able to
do things while I am not, and You know while I do not; and You
are the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah If You know It this
matter (name your matter) is good for me both at present and
in the future, (or in my religion), in my this life and in the
Hereafter, then fulfill it for me and make it easy for me, and
then bestow Your Blessings on me in that matter. O Allah! If
You know that this matter is not good for me in my religion,
in my this life and in my coming Hereafter (or at present or
in the future), then divert me from it and choose for me what
is good wherever it may be, and make me be pleased with it."

group that is better than they; and if he comes one span

going to create till the Day of Resurrection." Qaza'a said, "I
heard Abu Sa'id saying that the Prophet said, 'No soul is
ordained to be created but Allah will create it."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Allah will gather the believers on the
Day of Resurrection in the same way (as they are gathered in
this life), and they will say, 'Let us ask someone to
intercede for us with our Lord that He may relieve us from
this place of ours.' Then they will go to Adam and say, 'O
Adam! Don't you see the people (people's condition)? Allah
created you with His Own Hands and ordered His angels to
prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all the
things. Please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may
relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not
fit for this undertaking' and mention to them the mistakes he
had committed, and add, "But you d better go to Noah as he was
the first Apostle sent by Allah to the people of the Earth.'
They will go to Noah who will reply, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking,' and mention the mistake which he made, and add,
'But you'd better go to Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.'
They will go to Abraham who will reply, 'I am not fit for
this undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he made,
and add, 'But you'd better go to Moses, a slave whom Allah
gave the Torah and to whom He spoke directly' They will go to
Moses who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and
mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'You'd better
go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His Apostle and His Word (Be:
And it was) and a soul created by Him.' They will go to Jesus
who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, but you'd
better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and the future
had been forgiven (by Allah).' So they will come to me and I
will ask the permission of my Lord, and I will be permitted
(to present myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will
fall down in (prostration) before Him and He will leave me (in
prostration) as long as He wishes, and then it will be said to
me, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be
listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request);
and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will
then raise my head and praise my Lord with certain praises
which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will
allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will
fix a limit whom I will admit into Paradise.
I will come back again, and when I see my Lord (again), I
will fall down in prostration before Him, and He will leave me
(in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say,
'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be
listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request);
and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will
then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught
me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to
intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit
to whom I will admit into Paradise, I will return again, and
when I see my Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He
will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then
He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you
will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your
request); and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises
which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will
allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will
fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come
back and say, 'O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire) but
those whom Qur'an has imprisoned therein and for whom eternity
in Hell (Fire) has become inevitable.' "
The Prophet added, "There will come out of Hell (Fire)
everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart
good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will
come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: ' La ilaha
illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a
wheat grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone
who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good
equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant)."

he, and Allah has more Ghira than I, and because of Allah's
Ghira, He has made unlawful Shameful deeds and sins (illegal
sexual intercourse etc.) done in open and in secret. And there
is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and beg
His pardon than Allah, and for this reason He sent the warners
and the givers of good news. And there is none who likes to be

as Bani Tamim have refused it. " They said, "We accept it, for
we have come to you to learn the Religion. So we ask you what
the beginning of this universe was." The Prophet said "There
was Allah and nothing else before Him and His Throne was over
the water, and He then created the Heavens and the Earth and
wrote everything in the Book." Then a man came to me and said,

people of that?" He said, "There are one-hundred degrees in
Paradise which Allah has prepared for those who carry on Jihad
in His Cause. The distance between every two degrees is like
the distance between the sky and the Earth, so if you ask

prostrate, and it is allowed, and (one day) it, as if being
ordered to return whence it came, then it will rise from the
west." Then the Prophet recited, "That: "And the sun runs on
its fixed course (for a term decreed)," (36.38) as it is
recited by 'Abdullah.

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 524:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "The people will fall unconscious on the
Day of Resurrection, then suddenly I will see Moses holding
one of the pillars of the Throne." Abu Huraira said: The

and will see Moses holding the Throne."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 525:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "(A group of) angels stay with you at
night and (another group of) angels by daytime, and both
groups gather at the time of the 'Asr and Fajr prayers. Then
those angels who have stayed with you overnight, ascend (to
Heaven) and Allah asks them (about you) ---- and He knows
everything about you. "In what state did you leave My slaves?'
The angels reply, 'When we left them, they were praying, and
when we reached them they were praying.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 525y:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody gives in charity
something equal to a date from his honestly earned money
----for nothing ascends to Allah except good---- then Allah
will take it in His Right (Hand) and bring it up for its owner
as anyone of you brings up a baby horse, till it becomes like
a mountain." Abu Huraira said: The Prophet. said, "Nothing
ascends to Allah except good."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 526:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Allah's Apostle used to say at the time of difficulty,
"None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Majestic,
the Most Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne. None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the
Lord of the Honourable Throne. (See Hadith No. 357, Vol. 8)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 527:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
When 'Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold in its ore to the
Prophet. The Prophet distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin Habis
Al-Hanzali who belonged to Bani Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari,
'Alqama bin 'Ulatha Al-'Amiri, who belonged to the Bani Kilab
tribe and Zaid AI-Khail At-Ta'i who belonged to Bani Nabhan.
So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He gives
to the chiefs of Najd and leaves us!" The Prophet said, "I
just wanted to attract and unite their hearts (make them firm
in Islam)." Then there came a man with sunken eyes, bulging
forehead, thick beard, fat raised cheeks, and clean-shaven
head, and said, "O Muhammad! Be afraid of Allah! " The Prophet
said, "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Allah). He
trusts me over the people of the earth, but you do not trust
me?" A man from the people (present then), who, I think, was
Khalid bin Al-Walid, asked for permission to kill him, but the
Prophet prevented him. When the man went away, the Prophet
said, "Out of the offspring of this man, there will be people
who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their
throats, and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out
through the game, and they will kill the Muslims and leave the
idolators. Should I live till they appear, I would kill them
as the Killing of the nation of 'Ad."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 528:
Narrated Abu Dharr:
I asked the Prophet regarding the Verse:--'And the sun runs
on its fixed course for a term decreed for it.' (36.28) He
said, "Its fixed course is underneath Allah's Throne."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 529:
Narrated Jarir:
We were sitting with the Prophet and he looked at the moon
on the night of the full-moon and said, "You people will see
your Lord as you see this full moon, and you will have no
trouble in seeing Him, so if you can avoid missing (through
sleep or business, etc.) a prayer before sunrise (Fajr) and a
prayer before sunset (Asr) you must do so." (See Hadith No.
529, Vol. 1)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 530:
Narrated Jarir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "You will definitely see your Lord with
your own eyes."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 531:
Narrated Jarir:
Allah's Apostle came out to us on the night of the full
moon and said, "You will see your Lord on the Day of
Resurrection as you see this (full moon) and you will have no
difficulty in seeing Him."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 532c:
Narrated 'Ata' bin Yazid Al-Laithi:
On the authority of Abu Huraira: The people said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of
Resurrection?" The Prophet said, "Do you have any difficulty
in seeing the moon on a full moon night?" They said, "No, O
Allah's Apostle." He said, "Do you have any difficulty in
seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They said, "No, O
Allah's Apostle." He said, "So you will see Him, like that.
Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection,
and say, 'Whoever worshipped something (in the world) should
follow (that thing),' so, whoever worshipped the sun will
follow the sun, and whoever worshiped the moon will follow the
moon, and whoever used to worship certain (other false)
deities, he will follow those deities. And there will remain
only this nation with its good people (or its hypocrites).
(The sub-narrator, Ibrahim is in doubt.) Allah will come to
them and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will (deny Him and) say,
'We will stay here till our Lord comes, for when our Lord
comes, we will recognize Him.' So Allah will come to them in
His appearance which they know, and will say, 'I am your
Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' so they will follow
Him.
Then a bridge will be laid across Hell (Fire)' I and my
followers will be the first ones to go across it and none will
speak on that Day except the Apostles. And the invocation of
the Apostles on that Day will be, 'O Allah, save! Save!' In
Hell (or over The Bridge) there will be hooks like the thorns
of As-Sa'dan (thorny plant). Have you seen As-Sa'dan? " They
replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "So those hooks
look like the thorns of As-Sa'dan, but none knows how big they
are except Allah. Those hooks will snap the people away
according to their deeds. Some of the people will stay in Hell
(be destroyed) because of their (evil) deeds, and some will be
cut or torn by the hooks (and fall into Hell) and some will be
punished and then relieved. When Allah has finished His
Judgments among the people, He will take whomever He will out
of Hell through His Mercy. He will then order the angels to
take out of the Fire all those who used to worship none but
Allah from among those whom Allah wanted to be merciful to and
those who testified (in the world) that none has the right to
be worshipped but Allah. The angels will recognize them in the
Fire by the marks of prostration (on their foreheads), for the
Fire will eat up all the human body except the mark caused by
prostration as Allah has forbidden the Fire to eat the mark of
prostration. They will come out of the (Hell) Fire, completely
burnt and then the water of life will be poured over them and
they will grow under it as does a seed that comes in the mud
of the torrent.
Then Allah will finish the judgments among the people, and
there will remain one man facing the (Hell) Fire and he will
be the last person among the people of Hell to enter Paradise.
He will say, 'O my Lord! Please turn my face away from the
fire because its air has hurt me and its severe heat has burnt
me.' So he will invoke Allah in the way Allah will wish him to
invoke, and then Allah will say to him, 'If I grant you that,
will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by
Your Power, (Honor) I will not ask You for anything else.' He
will give his Lord whatever promises and covenants Allah will
demand.
So Allah will turn his face away from Hell (Fire). When he
will face Paradise and will see it, he will remain quiet for
as long as Allah will wish him to remain quiet, then he will
say, 'O my Lord! Bring me near to the gate of Paradise.' Allah
will say to him, 'Didn't you give your promises and covenants
that you would never ask for anything more than what you had
been given? Woe on you, O Adam's son! How treacherous you
are!' He will say, 'O my lord,' and will keep on invoking
Allah till He says to him, 'If I give what you are asking,
will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by
Your (Honor) Power, I will not ask for anything else.'
Then he will give covenants and promises to Allah and then
Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When he
stands at the gate of Paradise, Paradise will be opened and
spread before him, and he will see its splendor and pleasures
whereupon he will remain quiet as long as Allah will wish him
to remain quiet, and then he will say, O my Lord! Admit me
into Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you give your
covenants and promises that you would not ask for anything
more than what you had been given?' Allah will say, 'Woe on
you, O Adam's son! How treacherous you are! '
The man will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most
miserable of Your creation,' and he will keep on invoking
Allah till Allah will laugh because of his sayings, and when
Allah will laugh because of him, He will say to him, 'Enter
Paradise,' and when he will enter it, Allah will say to him,
'Wish for anything.' So he will ask his Lord, and he will wish
for a great number of things, for Allah Himself will remind
him to wish for certain things by saying, '(Wish for)
so-and-so.' When there is nothing more to wish for, Allah will
say, 'This is for you, and its equal (is for you) as well."
'Ata' bin Yazid added: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri who was present
with Abu Huraira, did not deny whatever the latter said, but
when Abu Huraira said that Allah had said, "That is for you
and its equal as well," Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said, "And ten
times as much, O Abu Huraira!" Abu Huraira said, "I do not
remember, except his saying, 'That is for you and its equal as
well.'" Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri then said, "I testify that I
remember the Prophet saying, 'That is for you, and ten times
as much.' ' Abu Huraira then added, "That man will be the last
person of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 532s:
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
We said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the
Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any difficulty in
seeing the sun and the moon when the sky is clear?" We said,
"No." He said, "So you will have no difficulty in seeing your
Lord on that Day as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun
and the moon (in a clear sky)." The Prophet then said,
"Somebody will then announce, 'Let every nation follow what
they used to worship.' So the companions of the cross will go
with their cross, and the idolators (will go) with their
idols, and the companions of every god (false deities) (will
go) with their god, till there remain those who used to
worship Allah, both the obedient ones and the mischievous
ones, and some of the people of the Scripture. Then Hell will
be presented to them as if it were a mirage. Then it will be
said to the Jews, "What did you use to worship?' They will
reply, 'We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.' It will be
said to them, 'You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor
a son. What do you want (now)?' They will reply, 'We want You
to provide us with water.' Then it will be said to them
'Drink,' and they will fall down in Hell (instead). Then it
will be said to the Christians, 'What did you use to worship?'
They will reply, 'We used to worship Messiah, the son of
Allah.' It will be said, 'You are liars, for Allah has neither
a wife nor a son. What: do you want (now)?' They will say, 'We
want You to provide us with water.' It will be said to them,
'Drink,' and they will fall down in Hell (instead). When there
remain only those who used to worship Allah (Alone), both the
obedient ones and the mischievous ones, it will be said to
them, 'What keeps you here when all the people have gone?'
They will say, 'We parted with them (in the world) when we
were in greater need of them than we are today, we heard the
call of one proclaiming, 'Let every nation follow what they
used to worship,' and now we are waiting for our Lord.' Then
the Almighty will come to them in a shape other than the one
which they saw the first time, and He will say, 'I am your
Lord,' and they will say, 'You are not our Lord.' And none
will speak: to Him then but the Prophets, and then it will be
said to them, 'Do you know any sign by which you can recognize
Him?' They will say. 'The Shin,' and so Allah will then
uncover His Shin whereupon every believer will prostrate
before Him and there will remain those who used to prostrate
before Him just for showing off and for gaining good
reputation. These people will try to prostrate but their backs
will be rigid like one piece of a wood (and they will not be
able to prostrate). Then the bridge will be laid across Hell."
We, the companions of the Prophet said, "O Allah's Apostle!
What is the bridge?'
He said, "It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are
clamps and (Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one side
and narrow at the other and has thorns with bent ends. Such a
thorny seed is found in Najd and is called As-Sa'dan. Some of
the believers will cross the bridge as quickly as the wink of
an eye, some others as quick as lightning, a strong wind, fast
horses or she-camels. So some will be safe without any harm;
some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some
will fall down into Hell (Fire). The last person will cross by
being dragged (over the bridge)." The Prophet said, "You
(Muslims) cannot be more pressing in claiming from me a right
that has been clearly proved to be yours than the believers in
interceding with Almighty for their (Muslim) brothers on that
Day, when they see themselves safe.
They will say, 'O Allah! (Save) our brothers (for they)
used to pray with us, fast with us and also do good deeds with
us.' Allah will say, 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in
whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one (gold)
Dinar.' Allah will forbid the Fire to burn the faces of those
sinners. They will go to them and find some of them in Hell
(Fire) up to their feet, and some up to the middle of their
legs. So they will take out those whom they will recognize and
then they will return, and Allah will say (to them), 'Go and
take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal
to the weight of one half Dinar.' They will take out whomever
they will recognize and return, and then Allah will say, 'Go
and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith
equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant), and so
they will take out all those whom they will recognize." Abu
Sa'id said: If you do not believe me then read the Holy
Verse:--
'Surely! Allah wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or
a smallest ant) but if there is any good (done) He doubles
it.' (4.40) The Prophet added, "Then the prophets and Angels
and the believers will intercede, and (last of all) the
Almighty (Allah) will say, 'Now remains My Intercession. He
will then hold a handful of the Fire from which He will take
out some people whose bodies have been burnt, and they will be
thrown into a river at the entrance of Paradise, called the
water of life.
They will grow on its banks, as a seed carried by the
torrent grows. You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or
beside a tree, and how the side facing the sun is usually
green while the side facing the shade is white. Those people
will come out (of the River of Life) like pearls, and they
will have (golden) necklaces, and then they will enter
Paradise whereupon the people of Paradise will say, 'These are
the people emancipated by the Beneficent. He has admitted them
into Paradise without them having done any good deeds and
without sending forth any good (for themselves).' Then it will
be said to them, 'For you is what you have seen and its
equivalent as well.'"
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 532v:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "The believers will be kept (waiting) on
the Day of Resurrection so long that they will become worried
and say, "Let us ask somebody to intercede far us with our
Lord so that He may relieve us from our place.
Then they will go to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, the
father of the people. Allah created you with His Own Hand and
made you reside in His Paradise and ordered His angels to
prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all things
will you intercede for us with your Lord so that He may
relieve us from this place of ours? Adam will say, 'I am not
fit for this undertaking.' He will mention his mistakes he had
committed, i.e., his eating off the tree though he had been
forbidden to do so. He will add, 'Go to Noah, the first
prophet sent by Allah to the people of the Earth.' The people
will go to Noah who will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking' He will mention his mistake which he had done,
i.e., his asking his Lord without knowledge.' He will say (to
them), 'Go to Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.' They will go to
Abraham who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. He
would mention three words by which he told a lie, and say (to
them). 'Go to Moses, a slave whom Allah gave the Torah and
spoke to, directly and brought near Him, for conversation.'
They will go to Moses who will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking. He will mention his mistake he made, i.e.,
killing a person, and will say (to them), 'Go to Jesus,
Allah's slave and His Apostle, and a soul created by Him and
His Word.' (Be: And it was.) They will go to Jesus who will
say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking but you'd better go to
Muhammad the slave whose past and future sins have been
forgiven by Allah.' So they will come to me, and I will ask my
Lord's permission to enter His House and then I will be
permitted. When I see Him I will fall down in prostration
before Him, and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as
He will, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad, lift up your head
and speak, for you will be listened to, and intercede, for
your intercession will be accepted, and ask (for anything) for
it will be granted:' Then I will raise my head and glorify my
Lord with certain praises which He has taught me. Allah will
put a limit for me (to intercede for a certain type of people)
I will take them out and make them enter Paradise." (Qatada
said: I heard Anas saying that), the Prophet said, "I will go
out and take them out of Hell (Fire) and let them enter
Paradise, and then I will return and ask my Lord for
permission to enter His House and I will be permitted.
When I will see Him I will fall down in prostration before
Him and He will leave me in prostration as long as He will let
me (in that state), and then He will say, 'O Muhammad, raise
your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and
intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask,
your request will be granted.' " The Prophet added, "So I will
raise my head and glorify and praise Him as He has taught me.
Then I will intercede and He will put a limit for me (to
intercede for a certain type of people). I will take them out
and let them enter Paradise." (Qatada added: I heard Anas
saying that) the Prophet said, 'I will go out and take them
out of Hell (Fire) and let them enter Paradise, and I will
return for the third time and will ask my Lord for permission
to enter His house, and I will be allowed to enter.
When I see Him, I will fall down in prostration before Him,
and will remain in prostration as long as He will, and then He
will say, 'Raise your head, O Muhammad, and speak, for you
will be listened to, and intercede, for your intercession will
be accepted, and ask, for your request will be granted.' So I
will raise my head and praise Allah as He has taught me and
then I will intercede and He will put a limit for me (to
intercede for a certain type of people). I will take them out
and let them enter Paradise." (Qatada said: I heard Anas
saying that) the Prophet said, "So I will go out and take them
out of Hell (Fire) and let them enter Paradise, till none will
remain in the Fire except those whom Quran will imprison
(i.e., those who are destined for eternal life in the fire)."
The narrator then recited the Verse:-- "It may be that your
Lord will raise you to a Station of Praise and Glory.' (17.79)
The narrator added: This is the Station of Praise and Glory
which Allah has promised to your Prophet.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 533:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a
tent and said to them, "Be patient till you meet Allah and His
Apostle, and I will be on the lake-Tank (Al-Kauthar)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 534:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Whenever the Prophet offered his Tahajjud prayer, he would
say, "O Allah, our Lord! All the praises are for You; You are
the Keeper (Establisher or the One Who looks after) of the
Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are
the Light of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is
therein. You are the Truth, and Your saying is the Truth, and
Your promise is the Truth, and the meeting with You is the
Truth, and Paradise is the Truth, and the (Hell) Fire is the
Truth. O Allah! I surrender myself to You, and believe in You,
and I put my trust in You (solely depend upon). And to You I
complain of my opponents and with Your Evidence I argue. So
please forgive the sins which I have done in the past or I
will do in the future, and also those (sins) which I did in
secret or in public, and that which You know better than I.
None has the right to be worshipped but You."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 535:
Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:
Allah's Apostle said, "There will be none among you but his
Lord will speak to him, and there will be no interpreter
between them nor a screen to screen Him."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 536:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Qais:
The Prophet said, "(There will be) two Paradises of silver
and all the utensils and whatever is therein (will be of
silver); and two Paradises of gold, and its utensils and
whatever therein (will be of gold), and there will be nothing
to prevent the people from seeing their Lord except the Cover
of Majesty over His Face in the Paradise of Eden (eternal
bliss)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 537:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "Whoever takes the property of a Muslim
by taking a false oath, will meet Allah Who will be angry with
him." Then the Prophet recited the Verse:-- 'Verily those who
purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and
their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter,
neither will Allah speak to them, nor look at them.' (3.77)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 538:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "(There are) three (types of persons to
whom) Allah will neither speak to them on the Day of
Resurrections, nor look at them (They are):--
(1) a man who
takes a false oath that he has been offered for a commodity a
price greater than what he has actually been offered;
(2) and
a man who takes a false oath after the 'Asr (prayer) in order
to grab the property of a Muslim through it;
(3) and a man who
forbids others to use the remaining superfluous water. To such
a man Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Today I
withhold My Blessings from you as you withheld the superfluous
part of that (water) which your hands did not create.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 539:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said, "Time has come back to its original state
which it had when Allah created the Heavens and the Earth, the
year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of
these four) three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da,
Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab Mudar
which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban." The Prophet
then asked us, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and His
Apostle know (it) better." He kept quiet so long that we
thought he might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't
it Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He asked "What town is this?"
We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.' Then he
kept quiet so long that we thought he might call it by another
name. He then said, "Isn't it the (forbidden) town (Mecca)?"
We said, "Yes." He asked, "What is the day today?" We said,
"Allah and His Apostle know (it) better. Then he kept quiet so
long that we thought that he might call it by another name.
Then he said, "Isn't it the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of
sacrifices)?" We said, "Yes." Then he said, "Your blood
(lives), your properties," (the sub narrator Muhammad, said: I
think he also said): "..and your honor) are as sacred to one
another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town
of yours, in this month of yours.
You shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your
deeds. Beware! Don't go astray after me by striking the necks
of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present
to inform it to those who are absent for perhaps the informed
one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of
the present audience." Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad
mentioned that statement, he would say, "The Prophet said the
truth.") And then the Prophet added, "No doubt! Haven't I
conveyed Allah's Message to you! No doubt! Haven't I conveyed
Allah's Message to you?"
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 540:
Narrated Usama:
A son of one of the daughters of the Prophet was dying, so
she sent a person to call the Prophet. He sent (her a
message), "What ever Allah takes is for Him, and whatever He
gives is for Him, and everything has a limited fixed term (in
this world) so she should be patient and hope for Allah's
reward." She then sent for him again, swearing that he should
come. Allah's Apostle got up, and so did Mu'adh bin Jabal,
Ubai bin Ka'b and 'Ubada bin As-Samit. When he entered (the
house), they gave the child to Allah's Apostle while its
breath was disturbed in his chest. (The sub-narrator said: I
think he said, "...as if it was a water skin.") Allah's
Apostle started weeping whereupon Sa'd bin 'Ubada said, "Do
you weep?" The Prophet said, "Allah is merciful only to those
of His slaves who are merciful (to others)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 541:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Paradise and Hell (Fire) quarrelled in
the presence of their Lord. Paradise said, 'O Lord! What is
wrong with me that only the poor and humble people enter me ?'
Hell (Fire) said, I have been favored with the arrogant
people.' So Allah said to Paradise, 'You are My Mercy,' and
said to Hell, 'You are My Punishment which I inflict upon whom
I wish, and I shall fill both of you.'" The Prophet added, "As
for Paradise, (it will be filled with good people) because
Allah does not wrong any of His created things, and He creates
for Hell (Fire) whomever He will, and they will be thrown into
it, and it will say thrice, 'Is there any more, till Allah
(will put) His Foot over it and it will become full and its
sides will come close to each other and it will say, 'Qat! Qat!
Qat! (Enough! Enough! Enough!) .
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 542:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Some people who will be scorched by Hell
(Fire) as a punishment for sins they have committed, and then
Allah will admit them into Paradise by the grant of His Mercy.
These people will be called, 'Al-JahannamiyyLin' (the people
of Hell)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 543:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
A Jewish Rabbi came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O
Muhammad! Allah will put the Heavens on one finger and the
earth on one finger, and the trees and the rivers on one
finger, and the rest of the creation on one finger, and then
will say, pointing out with His Hand, 'I am the King.' "On

night (or part of it), the Prophet got up and looked towards
the sky and recited the Verse:-- 'Verily! In the creation of
the Heavens and the Earth....there are indeed signs for the
men of understanding.' (3.190)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
Allah's Apostle the true and truly inspired, narrated to
us, "The creation of everyone of you starts with the process
of collecting the material for his body within forty days and
forty nights in the womb of his mother. Then he becomes a clot
of thick blood for a similar period (40 days) and then he
becomes like a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then an
angel is sent to him (by Allah) and the angel is allowed
(ordered) to write four things; his livelihood, his (date of)
death, his deeds, and whether he will be a wretched one or a
blessed one (in the Hereafter) and then the soul is breathed
into him. So one of you may do (good) deeds characteristic of
the people of Paradise so much that there is nothing except a
cubit between him and Paradise but then what has been written
for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds
characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) and (ultimately)
enters Hell (Fire); and one of you may do (evil) deeds
characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) so much so that
there is nothing except a cubit between him and Hell (Fire),
then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he
starts doing (good) deeds characteristic of the people of
Paradise and ultimately) enters Paradise." (See Hadith No.

him." But they asked him and he stood leaning on the stick and
I was standing behind him and I thought that he was being
divinely inspired. Then he said, "They ask you concerning the
spirit say: The spirit, its knowledge is with My Lord. And of

you, and if you turn away from Islam, Allah will surely ruin
you! "

spirit." The others said, "Do not ask him, lest he would say
something that you hate." Some of them said, "We will ask
him." So a man from among them stood up and said, 'O
Abal-Qasim! What is the spirit?" The Prophet kept quiet and I

direction the wind forces them to move and when the wind
becomes still, it stand straight. Such is the similitude of
the believer: He is disturbed by calamities (but is like the
fresh plant he regains his normal state soon). And the example
of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (which remains) hard
and straight till Allah cuts it down when He will." (See

I heard Allah's Apostle while he was standing on the
pulpit, saying, "The remaining period of your stay (on the
earth) in comparison to the nations before you, is like the
period between the 'Asr prayer and sunset. The people of the
Torah were given the Torah and they acted upon it till midday,
and then they were worn out and were given for their labor,
one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the
Gospel and they acted upon it till the time of the 'Asr
prayer, and then they were worn out and were given (for their
labor), one Qirat each. Then you people were given the Quran
and you acted upon it till sunset and so you were given two
Qirats each (double the reward of the previous nations)." Then
the people of the Torah said, 'O our Lord! These people have
done a little labor (much less than we) but have taken a
greater reward.' Allah said, 'Have I withheld anything from
your reward?' They said, 'No.' Then Allah said, 'That is My
Favor which I bestow on whom I wish.' "

(2) will not steal,
(3) will not commit illegal
sexual intercourse,
(4) will not kill your offspring,
(5) will
not slander,
(6) and will not disobey me when I order you to
do good. Whoever among you will abide by his pledge, his
reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of those
sins and receives the punishment in this world, that
punishment will be an expiation for his sins and purification;
but if Allah screens him, then it will be up to Allah to
punish him if He will or excuse Him, if He will."

"Tonight I will have sexual relation (sleep) with all my wives
so that each of them will become pregnant and bring forth (a
boy who will grow into) a cavalier and will fight in Allah's
Cause." So he slept with his wives and none of them (conceived
and) delivered (a child) except one who brought a half (body)
boy (deformed). Allah's Prophet said, "If Solomon had said;
'If Allah Will,' then each of those women would have delivered
a (would-be) cavalier to fight in Allah's Cause." (See Hadith

superiority to Moses over all the people!' On that the Muslim
lifted his hand and slapped the Jew. The Jew went to Allah's
Apostle and informed him of all that had happened between him
and the Muslim. The Prophet said, "Do not give me superiority
over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day of
Resurrection, I will be the first to regain consciousness and
behold, Moses will be standing there, holding the side of the
Throne. I will not know whether he has been one of those who
have fallen unconscious and then regained consciousness before

falling unconscious)." (See Hadith No. 524, Vol. 8)

was weakness in his drawing----may Allah forgive him! Then 'Umar
took the bucket which turned into something like a big drum. I

perfectly and vigorously as he did. (He drew so much water

camels that knelt down there. (See Hadith No. 16, Vol. 5)

said, "Yes, I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "While Moses was
sitting in the company of some Israelites a man came to him
and asked, 'Do you know Someone who is more learned than you
(Moses)?' Moses said, 'No.' So Allah sent the Divine
inspiration to Moses:--
'Yes, Our Slave Khadir is more learned than you' Moses
asked Allah how to meet him ( Khadir) So Allah made the fish
as a sign for him and it was said to him, 'When you lose the
fish, go back (to the place where you lose it) and you will
meet him.' So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish
in the sea. The boy servant of Moses (who was accompanying
him) said to him, 'Do you remember (what happened) when we
betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget to tell you
(about) the fish. None but Satan made me forget to tell you
about it' (18.63) Moses said:
'That is what we have been seeking." Sa they went back
retracing their footsteps. (18.64). So they both found Kadir

people on the earth." (See Hadith No. 66, Vol. 8)

expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment. There is
neither fleeing from You nor refuge but with You. I believe in
the Book (Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
(regarding the Verse):-- 'Neither say your prayer aloud,
nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse was revealed
while Allah's Apostle was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he
raised his voice while reciting the Qur'an, the pagans would
hear him and abuse the Qur'an and its Revealer and to the one
who brought it. So Allah said:--
'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.'
(17.110) That is, 'Do not say your prayer so loudly that the
pagans can hear you, nor say it in such a low tone that your
companions do not hear you.' But seek a middle course between
those (extremes), i.e., let your companions hear, but do not
relate the Qur'an loudly, so that they may learn it from you.

for a fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast,
and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord. And the

Sight than the smell of musk." (See Hadith No. 128, Vol. 3).

Your Promise is the Truth, and Your Speech is the Truth, and
meeting You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth and Hell

Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender to You, and believe in

said what they said and Allah revealed her innocence. 'Aisha
said, "But by Allah, I did not think that Allah, (to confirm
my innocence), would reveal Divine Inspiration which would be
recited, for I consider myself too unimportant to be talked
about by Allah through Divine Inspiration revealed for
recitation, but I hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a
dream in which Allah would reveal my innocence. So Allah
revealed:-- 'Verily! Those who spread the slander are a gang
among you...' (The ten Verses in Surat-an-Nur) (24.11-20)

do a bad deed then (O Angels) do not write it unless he does

from doing it for My Sake, then write it as a good deed (in
his account). (On the other hand) if he intends to go a good

relation with you, and I will sever the relation with the one
who will sever the relation with you. It said: 'Yes, 'O my

him, He would inflict such punishment on him as He would not
inflict on anybody among the people. But Allah ordered the sea
to collect what was in it (of his ashes) and similarly ordered
the earth to collect what was in it (of his ashes). Then Allah
said (to the recreated man ), 'Why did you do so?' The man
replied, 'For being afraid of You, and You know it (very
well).' So Allah forgave him."

I heard the Prophet saying, "If somebody commits a sin and
then says, 'O my Lord! I have sinned, please forgive me!' and
his Lord says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who
forgives sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven
my slave (his sins).' Then he remains without committing any
sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says,
'O my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,'
and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who
forgives sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven
my slave (his sin). Then he remains without Committing any
another sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the
third time) and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed another
sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known
that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it I
therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he can do whatever
he likes."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 599:
Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet mentioned a man from the people of the past or
those who preceded you. The Prophet said a sentence meaning:
Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death
approached, he said to his sons, "What kind of father have I
been to you?" They replied, "You have been a good father." He
told them that he had not presented any good deed before
Allah, and if Allah should get hold of him He would punish
him.' "So look!" he added, "When I die, burn me, and when I
turn into coal, crush me, and when there comes a windy day,
scatter my ashes in the wind." The Prophet added, "Then by
Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and
they did so. (They burnt him after his death) and threw his
ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. "Be,"
and behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, "O My slave!
What made you do what you did?" He replied, "For fear of You."
Nothing saved him then but Allah's Mercy (So Allah forgave
him).
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 600:
Narrated Anas:
I heard the Prophet saying, "On the Day of Resurrection I
will intercede and say, "O my Lord! Admit into Paradise (even)
those who have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts."
Such people will enter Paradise, and then I will say, 'O
(Allah) admit into Paradise (even) those who have the least
amount of faith in their hearts." Anas then said: As if I were
just now looking at the fingers of Allah's Apostle.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 601:
Narrated Ma'bad bin Hilal Al'Anzi:
We, i.e., some people from Basra gathered and went to Anas
bin Malik, and we went in company with Thabit Al-Bunnani so
that he might ask him about the Hadith of Intercession on our
behalf. Behold, Anas was in his palace, and our arrival
coincided with his Duha prayer. We asked permission to enter
and he admitted us while he was sitting on his bed. We said to
Thabit, "Do not ask him about anything else first but the
Hadith of Intercession." He said, "O Abu Hamza! There are your
brethren from Basra coming to ask you about the Hadith of
Intercession." Anas then said, "Muhammad talked to us saying,
'On the Day of Resurrection the people will surge with each
other like waves, and then they will come to Adam and say,
'Please intercede for us with your Lord.' He will say, 'I am
not fit for that but you'd better go to Abraham as he is the
Khalil of the Beneficent.' They will go to Abraham and he will
say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd better go to Moses as
he is the one to whom Allah spoke directly.' So they will go
to Moses and he will say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd
better go to Jesus as he is a soul created by Allah and His
Word.' (Be: And it was) they will go to Jesus and he will say,
'I am not fit for that, but you'd better go to Muhammad.'
They would come to me and I would say, 'I am for that.'
Then I will ask for my Lord's permission, and it will be
given, and then He will inspire me to praise Him with such
praises as I do not know now. So I will praise Him with those
praises and will fall down, prostrate before Him. Then it will
be said, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will
be listened to; and ask, for your will be granted (your
request); and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers! My followers!'
And then it will be said, 'Go and take out of Hell (Fire) all
those who have faith in their hearts, equal to the weight of a
barley grain.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him
with the same praises, and fall down (prostrate) before Him.
Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak,
for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted
(your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers! My followers!'
It will be said, 'Go and take out of it all those who have
faith in their hearts equal to the weight of a small ant or a
mustard seed.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him
with the same praises, and fall down in prostration before
Him. It will be said, 'O, Muhammad, raise your head and speak,
for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted
(your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers!' Then He will
say, 'Go and take out (all those) in whose hearts there is
faith even to the lightest, lightest mustard seed. (Take them)
out of the Fire.' I will go and do so."'
When we left Anas, I said to some of my companions, "Let's
pass by Al-Hasan who is hiding himself in the house of Abi
Khalifa and request him to tell us what Anas bin Malik has
told us." So we went to him and we greeted him and he admitted
us. We said to him, "O Abu Said! We came to you from your
brother Anas Bin Malik and he related to us a Hadith about the
intercession the like of which I have never heard." He said,
"What is that?" Then we told him of the Hadith and said, "He
stopped at this point (of the Hadith)." He said, "What then?"
We said, "He did not add anything to that." He said, Anas
related the Hadith to me twenty years ago when he was a young
fellow. I don't know whether he forgot or if he did not like
to let you depend on what he might have said." We said, "O Abu
Said ! Let us know that." He smiled and said, "Man was created
hasty. I did not mention that, but that I wanted to inform you
of it.
Anas told me the same as he told you and said that the
Prophet added, 'I then return for a fourth time and praise Him
similarly and prostrate before Him me the same as he 'O
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened
to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request): and
intercede, for your intercession will be accepted .' I will
say, 'O Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever said, 'None
has the right to be worshiped except Allah.' Then Allah will
say, 'By my Power, and my Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by
My Greatness, I will take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said:
'None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.' ''
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 602:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "The person who will be the last one
to enter Paradise and the last to come out of Hell (Fire) will
be a man who will come out crawling, and his Lord will say to
him, 'Enter Paradise.' He will reply, 'O Lord, Paradise is
full.' Allah will give him the same order thrice, and each
time the man will give Him the same reply, i.e., 'Paradise is
full.' Thereupon Allah will say (to him), 'Ten times of the
world is for you.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 603:
Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:
Allah's Apostle said, "There will be none among you but his
Lord will talk to him, and there will be no interpreter
between him and Allah. He will look to his right and see
nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look
to his left and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent
forward, and will look in front of him and see nothing but the
(Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the (Hell) Fire
even with half a date (given in charity)." Al-A'mash said: 'Amr
bin Murra said, Khaithama narrated the same and added, '..even
with a good word.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 604:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
A priest from the Jews came (to the Prophet) and said, "On
the Day of Resurrection, Allah will place all the heavens on
one finger, and the Earth on one finger, and the waters and
the land on one finger, and all the creation on one finger,
and then He will shake them and say. 'I am the King! I am the
King!'" I saw the Prophet smiling till his premolar teeth
became visible expressing his amazement and his belief in what
he had said. Then the Prophet recited: 'No just estimate have
they made of Allah such as due to Him (up to)...; High is He
above the partners they attribute to Him.' (39.67)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 605:
Narrated Safwan bin Muhriz:
A man asked Ibn 'Umar, "What have you heard from Allah's
Apostle regarding An-Najwa?" He said, "Everyone of you will
come close to His Lord Who will screen him from the people and
say to him, 'Did you do so-and-so?' He will reply, 'Yes.' Then
Allah will say, 'Did you do so-and-so?' He will reply, 'Yes.'
So Allah will question him and make him confess, and then
Allah will say, 'I screened your sins in the world and forgive
them for you today.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 606:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Adam and Moses debated with each other
and Moses said, 'You are Adam who turned out your offspring
from Paradise.' Adam said, "You are Moses whom Allah chose for
His Message and for His direct talk, yet you blame me for a
matter which had been ordained for me even before my
creation?' Thus Adam overcame Moses."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 607:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle said, "The believers will be assembled on
the Day of Resurrection and they will say, 'Let us look for
someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may
relieve us from this place of ours.' So they will go to Adam
and say, 'You are Adam, the father of mankind, and Allah
created you with His Own Hands and ordered the Angels to
prostrate before you, and He taught you the names of all
things; so please intercede for us with our Lord so that He
may relieve us.' Adam will say, to them, 'I am not fit for
that,' and then he will mention to them his mistake which he
has committed.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 608:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The night Allah's Apostle was taken for a journey from the
sacred mosque (of Mecca) Al-Ka'ba: Three persons came to him
(in a dreamy while he was sleeping in the Sacred Mosque before
the Divine Inspiration was revealed to Him. One of them said,
"Which of them is he?" The middle (second) angel said, "He is
the best of them." The last (third) angle said, "Take the best
of them." Only that much happened on that night and he did not
see them till they came on another night, i.e. after The
Divine Inspiration was revealed to him. (Fateh-Al-Bari Page
258, Vol. 17) and he saw them, his eyes were asleep but his
heart was not----and so is the case with the prophets: their
eyes sleep while their hearts do not sleep. So those angels
did not talk to him till they carried him and placed him
beside the well of Zam-Zam. From among them Gabriel took
charge of him. Gabriel cut open (the part of his body) between
his throat and the middle of his chest (heart) and took all
the material out of his chest and abdomen and then washed it
with Zam-Zam water with his own hands till he cleansed the
inside of his body, and then a gold tray containing a gold
bowl full of belief and wisdom was brought and then Gabriel
stuffed his chest and throat blood vessels with it and then
closed it (the chest). He then ascended with him to the heaven
of the world and knocked on one of its doors.
The dwellers of the Heaven asked, 'Who is it?' He said,
"Gabriel." They said, "Who is accompanying you?" He said,
"Muhammad." They said, "Has he been called?" He said, "Yes"
They said, "He is welcomed." So the dwellers of the Heaven
became pleased with his arrival, and they did not know what
Allah would do to the Prophet on earth unless Allah informed
them. The Prophet met Adam over the nearest Heaven. Gabriel
said to the Prophet, "He is your father; greet him." The
Prophet greeted him and Adam returned his greeting and said,
"Welcome, O my Son! O what a good son you are!" Behold, he saw
two flowing rivers, while he was in the nearest sky. He asked,
"What are these two rivers, O Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "These
are the sources of the Nile and the Euphrates."
Then Gabriel took him around that Heaven and behold, he saw
another river at the bank of which there was a palace built of
pearls and emerald. He put his hand into the river and found
its mud like musk Adhfar. He asked, "What is this, O Gabriel?"
Gabriel said, "This is the Kauthar which your Lord has kept
for you." Then Gabriel ascended (with him) to the second
Heaven and the angels asked the same questions as those on the
first Heaven, i.e., "Who is it?" Gabriel replied, "Gabriel".
They asked, "Who is accompanying you?" He said, "Muhammad."
They asked, "Has he been sent for?" He said, "Yes." Then they
said, "He is welcomed.'' Then he (Gabriel) ascended with the
Prophet to the third Heaven, and the angels said the same as
the angels of the first and the second Heavens had said.
Then he ascended with him to the fourth Heaven and they
said the same; and then he ascended with him to the fifth
Heaven and they said the same; and then he ascended with him
to the sixth Heaven and they said the same; then he ascended
with him to the seventh Heaven and they said the same. On each
Heaven there were prophets whose names he had mentioned and of
whom I remember Idris on the second Heaven, Aaron on the
fourth Heavens another prophet whose name I don't remember, on
the fifth Heaven, Abraham on the sixth Heaven, and Moses on
the seventh Heaven because of his privilege of talking to
Allah directly. Moses said (to Allah), "O Lord! I thought that
none would be raised up above me."
But Gabriel ascended with him (the Prophet) for a distance
above that, the distance of which only Allah knows, till he
reached the Lote Tree (beyond which none may pass) and then
the Irresistible, the Lord of Honor and Majesty approached and
came closer till he (Gabriel) was about two bow lengths or
(even) nearer. (It is said that it was Gabriel who approached
and came closer to the Prophet. (Fate Al-Bari Page 263, 264,
Vol. 17). Among the things which Allah revealed to him then,
was: "Fifty prayers were enjoined on his followers in a day
and a night."
Then the Prophet descended till he met Moses, and then
Moses stopped him and asked, "O Muhammad ! What did your Lord
en join upon you?" The Prophet replied," He enjoined upon me
to perform fifty prayers in a day and a night." Moses said,
"Your followers cannot do that; Go back so that your Lord may
reduce it for you and for them." So the Prophet turned to
Gabriel as if he wanted to consult him about that issue.
Gabriel told him of his opinion, saying, "Yes, if you wish."
So Gabriel ascended with him to the Irresistible and said
while he was in his place, "O Lord, please lighten our burden
as my followers cannot do that." So Allah deducted for him ten
prayers where upon he returned to Moses who stopped him again
and kept on sending him back to his Lord till the enjoined
prayers were reduced to only five prayers.
Then Moses stopped him when the prayers had been reduced to
five and said, "O Muhammad! By Allah, I tried to persuade my
nation, Bani Israel to do less than this, but they could not
do it and gave it up. However, your followers are weaker in
body, heart, sight and hearing, so return to your Lord so that
He may lighten your burden."
The Prophet turned towards Gabriel for advice and Gabriel
did not disapprove of that. So he ascended with him for the
fifth time. The Prophet said, "O Lord, my followers are weak
in their bodies, hearts, hearing and constitution, so lighten
our burden." On that the Irresistible said, "O Muhammad!" the
Prophet replied, "Labbaik and Sa'daik." Allah said, "The Word
that comes from Me does not change, so it will be as I
enjoined on you in the Mother of the Book." Allah added,
"Every good deed will be rewarded as ten times so it is fifty
(prayers) in the Mother of the Book (in reward) but you are to
perform only five (in practice)."
The Prophet returned to Moses who asked, "What have you
done?" He said, "He has lightened our burden: He has given us
for every good deed a tenfold reward." Moses said, "By Allah!
I tried to make Bani Israel observe less than that, but they
gave it up. So go back to your Lord that He may lighten your
burden further." Allah's Apostle said, "O Moses! By Allah, I
feel shy of returning too many times to my Lord." On that
Gabriel said, "Descend in Allah's Name." The Prophet then woke
while he was in the Sacred Mosque (at Mecca).
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 609:
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "Allah will say to the people of
Paradise, "O the people of Paradise!" They will say, 'Labbaik,
O our Lord, and Sa'daik, and all the good is in Your Hands!'
Allah will say, "Are you satisfied?' They will say, 'Why
shouldn't we be satisfied, O our Lord as You have given us
what You have not given to any of Your created beings?' He
will say, 'Shall I not give you something better than that?'
They will say, 'O our Lord! What else could be better than
that?' He will say, 'I bestow My Pleasure on you and will
never be angry with you after that.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 610:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Once the Prophet was preaching while a bedouin was sitting
there. The Prophet said, "A man from among the people of
Paradise will request Allah to allow him to cultivate the land
Allah will say to him, 'Haven't you got whatever you desire?'
He will reply, 'yes, but I like to cultivate the land (Allah
will permit him and) he will sow the seeds, and within seconds
the plants will grow and ripen and (the yield) will be
harvested and piled in heaps like mountains. On that Allah
will say (to him), "Take, here you are, O son of Adam, for
nothing satisfies you.' "On that the bedouin said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Such man must be either from Quraish or from Ansar,
for they are farmers while we are not." On that Allah's
Apostle smiled .
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 611:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
I asked Allah's Apostle "What is the biggest sin in the
sight of Allah?" He said, "To set up rivals unto Allah though
He alone created you." I said, "In fact, that is a tremendous
sin," and added, "What next?" He said, "To kill your son being
afraid that he may share your food with you." I further asked,
"What next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse
with the wife of your neighbor."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 612:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
Two person of Bani Thaqif and one from Quarish (or two
persons from Quraish and one from Bani Thaqif) who had fat
bellies but little wisdom, met near the Ka'ba. One of them
said, "Did you see that Allah hears what we say? " The other
said, "He hears us if we speak aloud, but He does not hear if
we speak in stealthy quietness (softly)." The third fellow
said, "If He hears when we speak aloud, then He surely hears
us if we speak in stealthy quietness (softly)." So Allah
revealed the Verse:--
'And you have not been screening against yourselves, lest
your ears, and your eyes and your skins should testify against
you..." (41.22)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 613:
Narrated 'Ikrima:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "How can you ask the people of the
Scriptures about their Books while you have Allah's Book (the
Qur'an) which is the most recent of the Books revealed by
Allah, and you read it in its pure undistorted form?"
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 614:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said, "O the group of Muslims! How can
you ask the people of the Scriptures about anything while your
Book which Allah has revealed to your Prophet contains the
most recent news from Allah and is pure and not distorted?
Allah has told you that the people of the Scriptures have
changed some of Allah's Books and distorted it and wrote
something with their own hands and said, 'This is from Allah,
so as to have a minor gain for it. Won't the knowledge that
has come to you stop you from asking them? No, by Allah, we
have never seen a man from them asking you about that (the
Book Al-Qur'an ) which has been revealed to you.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 615:
Narrated Musa bin Abi 'Aisha:
Sa'id bin Jubair reported from Ibn 'Abbas (regarding the
explanation of the Verse: 'Do not move your tongue concerning
(the Qur'an) to make haste therewith) . He said, "The Prophet
used to undergo great difficulty in receiving the Divine
Inspiration and used to move his lips.' Ibn 'Abbas said (to
Sa'id), "I move them (my lips) as Allah's Apostle used to move
his lips." And Said said (to me), "I move my lips as I saw Ibn
'Abbas moving his lips," and then he moved his lips. So Allah
revealed:--
'(O Muhammad!) Do not move your tongue concerning (the
Qur'an) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it
and give you (O Muhammad) the ability to recite it. (i.e., to
collect it in your chest and then you recite it).' (75.16-17)
But when We have recited it, to you (O Muhammad through
Gabriel) then follow you its recital.' (75.18) This means,
"You should listen to it and keep quiet and then it is upon Us
to make you recite it."
The narrator added, "So Allah's Apostle used to listen
whenever Gabriel came to him, and when Gabriel left, the
Prophet would recite the Qur'an as Gabriel had recited it to
him."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 616:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
regarding the explanation of the Verse:-- '(O Muhammad!)
Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.'
(17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah's Apostle was
hiding himself at Mecca. At that time, when he led his
companions in prayer, he used to raise his voice while
reciting the Qur'an; and if the pagans heard him, they would
abuse the Qur'an, its Revealer, and the one who brought it. So
Allah said to His Prophet: "Neither say your prayer aloud.
i.e., your recitation (of Qur'an) lest the pagans should hear
(it) and abuse the Quran" nor say it in a low tone, "lest your
voice should fail to reach your companions, "but follow a way
between." (17.110)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 617:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Verse:-- '(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud
nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) was revealed in connection
with the invocations.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 618:
Narrated Abu Salama:
Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'Whoever does not
recite Qur'an in a nice voice is not from us,' and others said
extra," (that means) to recite it aloud."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 619:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Not to wish to be the like of except
the like of two men: a man whom Allah has given the Qur'an and
he recites it during the hours of the night and the hours of
the day, in which case one may say, "If I were given the same
as this man has been given, I would do the same as he is
doing.' The other is a man whom Allah has given wealth and he
spends it in the right way, in which case one may say, 'If I
were given the same as he has been given, I would do the same
as he is doing."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 620:
Narrated Salim's father:
The Prophet said, "Not to wish to be the like of except the
like of two (persons): a man whom Allah has given the
knowledge of the Quran and he recites it during the hours of
the night and the hours of the day; and a man whom Allah has
given wealth and he spends it (in Allah's Cause) during the
hours of the night and during the hours of the day."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 621:
Narrated Al-Mughira:
Our Prophet has informed us our Lord's Message that whoever
of us is martyred, will go to Paradise.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 622:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Whoever tells you that the Prophet concealed something of
the Divine Inspiration, do not believe him, for Allah said: 'O
Apostle Muhammad! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent
down to you from your Lord, and if you do it not, then you
have not conveyed His Message.' (5.67)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 623:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which sin is the biggest in
Allah's Sight?" The Prophet said, "To set up rivals unto Allah
though He Alone created you." That man said, "What is next?"
The Prophet said, "To kill your son lest he should share your
food with you.'' The man said, "What is next?" The Prophet
said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of
your neighbor." Then Allah revealed in confirmation of that:
"And those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor kill
such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor
commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall
receive the punishment..... (25.68)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 624:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Your stay (in this world) in
comparison to the stay of the nations preceding you, is like
the period between 'Asr prayer and the sun set (in comparison
to a whole day). The people of the Torah were given the Torah
and they acted on it till midday and then they were unable to
carry on. And they were given (a reward equal to) one Qirat
each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and
they acted on it till 'Asr Prayer and then they were unable to
carry on, so they were given la reward equal to) one Qirat
each. Then you were given the Qur'an and you acted on it till
sunset, therefore you were given (a reward equal to) two
Qirats each. On that, the people of the Scriptures said,
'These people (Muslims) did less work than we but they took a
bigger reward.' Allah said (to them). 'Have I done any
oppression to you as regards your rights?' They said, "No."
Then Allah said, 'That is My Blessing which I grant to
whomsoever I will.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 625:
Narrated Ibn Mas'ud:
A man asked the Prophet "What deeds are the best?" The
Prophet said: (1) To perform the (daily compulsory) prayers at
their (early) stated fixed times, (2) To be good and dutiful
to one's own parents. (3) and to participate in Jihad in
Allah's Cause."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 626:
Narrated Al-Hasan:
'Amr bin Taghlib said, "Some property was given to the
Prophet and he gave it to some people and withheld it from
some others. Then he came to know that they (the latter) were
dissatisfied. So the Prophet said, 'I give to one man and
leave (do not give) another, and the one to whom I do not give
is dearer to me than the one to whom I give. I give to some
people because of the impatience and discontent present in
their hearts, and leave other people because of the content
and goodness Allah has bestowed on them, and one of them is 'Amr
bin Taghlib." 'Amr bin Taghlib said, "The sentence which
Allah's Apostle said in my favor is dearer to me than the
possession of nice red camels."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 627:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer
to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he
comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the
span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go
to him running.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 628:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Perhaps the Prophet mentioned the following (as Allah's
Saying): "If My slave comes nearer to Me for a span, I go
nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a
cubit; I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms.
(See Hadith No. 502)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said that your Lord said, "Every (sinful) deed
can be expiated; and the fast is for Me, so I will give the
reward for it; and the smell which comes out of the mouth of a
fasting person, is better in Allah's Sight than the smell of
musk." (See Hadith No. 584)

a vibrating and pleasant voice. Then Mu'awiya recited as
'Abdullah bin Mughaffal had done and said, "Were I not afraid

tone?" He said thrice, "A, A , A."

and behold, there appeared the verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning of
the adulterers to death). Then he said, "O Muhammad! They
should be stoned to death but we conceal this Divine Law among

be recited, for I considered myself too unimportant to be

him, a man from the tribe of Bani Taimul-lah who looked like
one of the Mawali. Abu Musa invited the man to eat but the man
said, "I have seen chicken eating some dirty things, and I
have taken an oath not to eat chicken." Abu Musa said to him,
"Come along, let me tell you something in this regard. Once I
went to the Prophet with a few men from Ash'ariyyin and we
asked him for mounts. The Prophet said, By Allah, I will not
mount you on anything; besides I do not have anything to mount
you on.' Then a few camels from the war booty were brought to
the Prophet, and he asked about us, saying, 'Where are the
group of Ash'ariyyin?' So he ordered for five fat camels to be
given to us and then we set out. We said, 'What have we done?
Allah's Apostle took an oath that he would not give us
anything to ride and that he had nothing for us to ride, yet
he provided us with mounts. We made Allah's Apostle forget his
oath! By Allah, we will never be successful.' So we returned
to him and reminded him of his oath. He said, 'I have not
provided you with the mount, but Allah has done so. By Allah,
I may take an oath to do something, but on finding something
else which is better, I do that which is better and make the
expiation for my oath.' "

deeds) by which we may enter Paradise (by acting on them) and
we may inform our people whom we have left behind to observe
it." The Prophet said, "I order you to do four things and
forbid you from four things: I order you to believe in Allah.
Do you know what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to testify
that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, to
offer prayers perfectly, to give Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus
(one-fifth of the war booty) (in Allah's Cause). And I forbid
you four things, (i.e., Do not drink alcoholic drinks) Ad-Dubba,
